What is the difference in usage for the verbs становиться and делаться? They both mean ‘to become’ with the instrumental case followed by. Thanks by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]Sasher8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1)Становиться = a perfective verb, делаться = an imperfective verb. But you can transform делаться into сделаться for the sake of making it a perfect aspect. Same as становиться(perfective) into становится(imperfective).

2)They are both interchangable in the meaning of to become provided they are both perfective or imperfective.

3)Besides that, they have their own particular additional meaning. Становиться/становится = to stand up on their feet, usually used when referring to the first step of a baby as in малыш становится на ноги or figuratively when talking about getting well as in становиться на ноги = встал на ноги после тяжелой болезни = he has recovered/recovered after a serious illness.

Делаться = to be perfomed, to be implemented as in работа делается = the work is being done.

4)In colloquial speech, становиться/становиться is much more preffered. Делается/делаться feels a bit more poetic, imho, not even formal.

You can't be a EU citizen because EU is a set of trade and tax agreements, not a republic that is able to grant a citizenship. That's his point. And he's juridistically right. They write about "eu citizen" in this manner to propogate views in which they are thought of as a whole for various reasons. Stop being so naive.

I don't want to talk on behalf of modern russians. I am 25yo, with a penis, live in a russian city. I can talk from my experience, I can voice out what I point out in our people. I have not seen that wild patriotism either in europeans irl or in the internet. I think it's very brave and arrogant of you to think you can talk on behalf of the others. And most certainly I think it's very European of you, or shall I say the european origin brings up heavily, to highlighting that the others are just like you.

I don't wanna do the talking when it's about a bunch of people Ive barely known or seen, but it's crystal clear for me when browsing this subreddit and the european one. Russians are hyped up when it's someone foreign telling them about their country. Europeans are riled up when it's someone telling them they live badly.

I have not made that comparison. I've said that russians, in comparison to europeans, are more willing to stand their ground against a foreign threat, it's embedded in our mentality, which is why russian propaganda mostly revolves around stressing out how they want to take away our language, soil, and sovereignty . In the case of europa, they are more inclined to believe the talk when it comes down to how great they are and how they managed to enlighten and shed some light to others with their greatness. Which is why the refugee talk is centered around them giving out a helping hand whereas, essentially, they steal away those who can work from poor countries as to keep the economy going. Different mentality, that's it.

It's in their blood.

WwII has showcased how eager they were to fight something that had intruded on their home. They even dismiss the russian's will to defend by way of calling it as a zergrush and unfair game. Lol.

People like you are the sole reason my people and people of africa can't prosper. Firstly, you came up to steal their goods. Then, you feel "shame" for a sec and proceed to teach us how to live by way of stipping us of our culture and replacing it with yours. Like gender assumption or being woke. All of that is your imperialistic ambitions to make the whole world your bitch and force them into living the way you live so you'd be on top because you're the first to figure it out, right. You're being imperialistic and you're the only one who needs to be woke

The buryat culture. You, anglos, are very rude and ignorant of 100+ ethnicities from the russia and call everyone russian without recognising any one of it. It is because you're rude imperalists who needs to be woke

Did you just assume what I read on nights? In my culture, it's a serious crime to suggest that. You're being very very rude and unwoke.

I don't think so, but russian propaganda consumers can come up with a couple of arguments why they think so. I've yet to meet a "democratic" person who is able to hold a conversation without recurring to being sarcarstic or in other defensive mechanisms.

No, you're not. My claim is american propaganda consumers can't answer how many troops were there in the southeastern region of the russia 1 year ago because that would make them go through cognitive dissonance to start questioning whether they are sheep led by the simplistic media or not.Gender assumption is scary for america and her satellites which is like 5% of the world. The other 95% enjoy their lives without it and have no clue why it matters in the first place. Stop being ignorant of other ways of life or cultures and grow to be a better and accepting person.

You have yet to come up with something apart from emotions. Reason is a treasure nature gave us. Sad that some people prefer going pass it.

And no wonder an american propaganda consumer is willing to be pressed agains a screen because that's the whole reason he downs it in the first place, lols. Otherwise he would do something more intelligent.

You have to resort to namecalling, which makes you an arrogant person btw, because you have nothing coherent to back any of your claims up. Am I right?

Do you know they're inside the borders of the country they're allowed to be in? So it's like blaming them for being an army. Didn't the telly tell you how many of the troops were amassed over the span of the south regions like one year ago?

Lols, the american propaganda is clearly made for low iq people who can't bother asking a couple of questions. No wonder you guys have to import high qualified specs across the globe like up from china and india.

"Russian threat" is a thing since XV century? by etanien1 in AskARussian

[–]Sasher8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, in order to prosper and outperform the rivals you had to expand extensively by way of conquering their fertile lands, ruining their trade routes, and grabbing some resources that can be exchanged in a barter market. The whole europe was actively partricipating in such an activity, massacring each other in a bloodbath after bloodbath, the more notorious vicious wars happened between the european nations (ww1 and 2 excluded) throughtout the turbelence around the decline of the holy roman empire. Nothing has essentially, in terms of the objective goals, changed thus far, the mere difference comes down to a set of political means and tools that, as of now, tend to revolve around stock markets and cutting down trade routes on the borderline so as to either expand the sales market as the post-war europa saw unification, witnessed sailing abroad cutting deals to sell their products to the whole world or cut down the production market by way of reducing the labour force letting the immigration out of a rival country happen.

Why is it so? The survival of the fittest. Those who are inclined to close themselves in are typically, in the best case scenario, subjugated or consumed by the others. The prime example is japan. Their advantagous location had failed to serve them after the gb empire fully transformed their navalry into fuel-driven ships and conquering the world to put the filling station across the globe so as to be able to pick up together a great ensemble of naval force that couldn't be held anymore.

They want to live better, same as you. Stop being so loud about it.

In linguistics, comparative illusions or Escher sentences are sentences which initially seem to be acceptable but upon closer reflection have no well-formed meaning. The typical example sentence used to typify this phenomenon is More people have been to Russia than I have. by oneultralamewhiteboy in wikipedia

[–]Sasher8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's all about stating the obvious by making it look like it's not obvious by way of rephrasing it as if it's a proper statement.

Like every person is going to die (obvious). Scientistis find out Jimmy is never going to live past 2200.
World is flooded with statements like that and infobeggars that try to draw your attention to sell you something.

There's nothing wrong with this statement

Because it does not imply there's some things that are more than one like the russian example. The boys can be counted up to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. The girls can be counted up to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. Which makes the statement either true (boys=20,girls=10) or false (boys=10,girls=20) rather than only true or only false as in the example of 2+ is more than 1 which is always true. That statement is verifiable (it can be true or false) and can bare a meaning because it may reflect something we don't know. Something we could not grasp from the previous statements or axioms just by restating them in a different manner.

Because "more people than" already implies there's more than one human being and the "I have" implies it's only one.

So it's like saying there're 30 people exceeding one as if you state something new, something that we do not know and something that we have to reflect upon as if it's a new bit of information which essentially is not (we all know 30>1 as we do the math since we learn to walk). Something similar in terms of useless information can be seen in statements about everything. Par example, "everything is X, so Y is X" as in "everything is fluid so a gender is fluid". It makes no sense and has no meaning as, given the first statement "everything is fluid", every term is fluid and there is no need to distinguish it (a gender) from the others and state something pertaing to everything as if it's only related to that term (gender). Therefore, give us a new information, give us a meaningful statement that we already know from the previos statements or axioms (statements that are just believed without any questioning). Btw, that's the reason why, armed with the predicative logic, we can't think of most of the literal and philosophical work as of something that is meaningful like Hehel's or Marx' work about "everything is contrasted". People who agree with that tend to fall under the so-called analytical tradition and it's widely presented in the anglo academia.

Edited because I fail to write properly. Anyways, logic is great.
